I think you are referring to the Calfo talk and the current, I guess political climate concerning corals is the right way to put it...
Here is a link to a recent article in Coral Magazine that discusses some of it. And another article providing some rebuttal. If it was the pioneering comment, IMO, the forward direction of the hobby has slowed somewhat in the previous decade as previous 'impossibles' became commonplace and the final goal. At the moment there are precious few 'pioneers' making headway into new ground. One of the groups that is blazing forward into new ground is the NPS folks. It is exciting for me to see

I know, that's why I had to grab it. I never see them that color.

^^The picture above from DD is very accurate. I opened the bag and looked at this coral and it was already glowing. Brightest yellow I've ever seen on a coral - and to top it off the polyps are a pure white. This is truly one of the most breathtaking little corals I've ever seen in person. And it's tiny. Just a baby. Pics this weekend!

I picked it up at Macna a few years back from a vendor I can't remember the name of.

Erik - how did that coral do in your tank? Mine is still not fully upright. Not sure if this is one that indeed prefers to be upside down or sideways. Polyps open and close in response to food though.
Luca - thanks for the compliment and warning! Cool zooplankton video worth watching: from Bravo Zulu on Vimeo. Now what are those corals that they show? |

I love your build. Here locally we have ADA LFS rep. I too almost went with the 120p ADA tank, instead I got the 120 Gs OC Tech. However, I did build myself a ADA stand.
will you be going with the ADA stand?
